Connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular)

We'll guide you through fixing issues with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, and cellular connections on your iPhone or Android to keep you linked to what matters.

Overheating
When your phone overheats, it could be a sign of deeper problems. You can remove your device from the charger or take a break from streaming to give your smartphone a chance to cool down. Whatever you do, just don’t put it in the freezer. Read more ways to cool down a hot phone.
Insufficient storage
Running out of space isn’t just a roadblock when you want to download a new app. It can limit functionality and prevent new software updates. Learn how to manage and free up phone storage effectively.
Camera issues
Blurry photos and camera app crashes can become annoying, especially when you want to catch candid moments. Use these guides to tackle common camera problems so you can keep capturing important moments:
Audio problems
Can they hear you? Audio issues can disrupt calls and dash your attempts at watching your camera videos. We’ll help you fix microphone and speaker problems on your Android or iPhone to improve sound quality.
Cracked screen
A cracked screen is not just unsightly; it can also impair functionality. To DIY or to not DIY a cracked screen repair is the first question to ask yourself. But don't delay—there are risks of using a phone with a cracked screen.
